Paste cleanup and formatting control in Rich Text Editor

Manage pasted content in the React Rich Text Editor with flexible paste cleanup options that preserve formatting, keep plain text, or remove unwanted styles to maintain clean and consistent content.

React Rich Text Editor keep paste formatting control mode

Keep format on paste

Keep Format retains supported text styles, tables, lists, and other formatting from pasted content. Formatting preservation is suitable when content from Word, webpages, or other editors needs to retain its source appearance.

React Rich Text Editor clean format pasted content

Clean format on paste

Clean Format mode removes inline styles and selected HTML attributes while preserving supported structural elements such as headings, paragraphs, and lists. Cleaned content is suitable when material from webpages, emails, or other external sources needs to follow the editor’s formatting.

React Rich Text Editor plain text paste

Plain text on paste

Plain Text mode removes HTML tags and styles from pasted content so only text is inserted into the editor. Text-only insertion is suitable when source formatting should not be retained.
